Adrian, MI – The Adrian College football team was projected by Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association coaches to finish third in the league this year.
Expectations are high under second year head coach Joe Palka after an impressive 6-4 season in 2024. Senior transfer quarterback Noah Beaudrie, from University of Mount Union, is looking to build on the successes of last year’s senior transfer QB Jake Kelbert.
Beaudrie is a Monroe County native, and played his high school ball at Erie-Mason. An injury derailed his 2024 campaign with the Purple Raiders…who ended up losing in the Division Three National Championship game to North Central.
